The Korarchaeota is a proposed phylum within the Archaea.[3] The name is derived from the Greek noun koros or kore, meaning young man or young woman, and the Greek adjective archaios which means ancient.[4] They are also known as Xenarchaeota. The name is equivalent to Candidatus Korarchaeota, and they go by the name Xenarchaeota or Xenarchaea as well.[5]
